An ode to the life I know under this sky, centering the lives of my neighbors and my environments, and the implications of its history.
The outdoor plant holder implies a domesticity, a site for us to attempt to hang and nurture a healthy thing. But the viewfinders are inorganic, and their “hanging” implies both a casualness and a more sinister specter of sorts. And contained within the viewfinders are gestures of holding various sentiments concerning my experiences here in the city of Los Angeles.
The piece encourages what it takes to truly see someone else. Sometimes it takes contorting and reorienting ourselves, or even asking for help, and slowing down in order to do so.

Brian Lombera is a member of the Wixarika (Huichol) community who weaves Indigenous histories of the past, present, and future. Yarn is used to construct ritual offerings to Tatewari (Grandfather Fire) linking together messages meant to communicate between spiritual abstraction and representation. Lombera addresses sociopolitical histories used to erase and mythologize Indigenous communities and practices connected to culture and land.
6. Anthony MARTINEZ-GALVAN: Untitled (Angeles National Forest, Wandering In The Sea Of Fog)
UV-coated archival polychrome inkjet prints on acrylic
20 x 152 inches
2016-2022
The work interrogates landscape photography, specifically its role as an ideological apparatus and technological aid in westward expansion and colonialism. Through the appropriation of seriality, a typological system historically used for cataloguing in anthropology and land surveying, the work comprises a sequence of nine portrait-format photographs taken with a 4x5 large-format camera.
Each frame is structured as a score of space depicting a fog-laden landscape along a trail ridge in the Angeles National Forest, overlooking the Los Angeles Basin. Fog serves as a poetic device that obfuscates, functioning as a veil that voids the background, compresses the midground, and centers the foreground as the primary subject. Shrubs, bushes, and yucca, native to the California Chaparral, take the stage as ecological agents. Grounded in the land, they bear witness to time and social changes.
In some frames, traces of human activity and infrastructure emerge, highlighting an ecology once considered wilderness and now preserved as a national site for amusement, recreation, and institutional research. These contradictions, shaped and sustained by the extension of capitalism, Empire, and national identity, linger within the apparatus that is landscape.

In my latest body of work, Echo Park, I aim to preserve the essence and culture of my neighborhood as it undergoes gentrification. In 1989, a year after immigrating to the United States, my mother moved into a two-bedroom apartment in Echo Park. She raised me there and we have lived in Echo Park for more than twenty years. Echo Park, located in Northeast Los Angeles, was once a predominantly Latinx, Asian, and working-class neighborhood. However, since the early 2000s, the population of minority residents in Echo Park has severely declined due to gentrification. Many people have been illegally evicted and displaced because they could not afford unjust rent increases. Upscale businesses and luxury housing have gradually taken their place, catering to wealthier, often white newcomers.
Throughout my childhood, I witnessed the loss of people, homes, and businesses that were the backbone of my neighborhood. I never thought I would experience gentrification firsthand until 2023, when my home was sold to new owners. The new owners paid my neighbors to move out, and then they remodeled the building. My mother and I were the only tenants able to remain in our home due to tenant protection laws. Within a year, I watched a place dear to my heart become just another property that gentrification profits from. This inspired me to document my neighborhood before it disappears completely.
I took all of the photographs on foot, revisiting familiar places and exploring new areas. I connected with my community by capturing longtime residents, including friends and elders, architecture, businesses, and the changes reshaping my home. The original residents of Echo Park are underrepresented, particularly in photography. As an artist, I feel responsible to ensure that our experiences are respected and not forgotten. Through this series, I aim to raise awareness of the harmful effects of gentrification on communities of color in Los Angeles, while also highlighting the beauty of the environments that shape us.

¿Vamos al licor?
Mixed media, wood, steel, photo/ Tecnica mixta, madera, acero, foto
Location/ Ubicación: Muscoy, CA
2023
Muscoy, sometimes seen as a sliver of Mexico, is an area known for its semi-rural setting filled with large lots of land that hold horses and other livestock, plant nurseries, and an abundance of fruit trees. A particular feature of the culture that sets it apart from the rest of the Inland Empire is that to this day, cars and horses share the roadways.The uniqueness of this landscape due to its agricultural histories is what I aim to savor.
Growing up, my grandpa and I would ride our horse, Regalo, to the liquor store. My Grandpa would purchase a brown bag with liquor and I, a clear bag with strawberry sour belts. I can still feel the tingling sensation of too much citric acid on my tongue, the roundness of the saddle horn that I gripped as we swayed, and the warm embrace of my grandpa. I thank the posts that sit outside the liquor store; waiting for customers to station their horses, for such tender memories.
